TRANSCRIPT
WHERE ARE YOU? What is the next step YOU
need to take to grow closer to
Christ and increase your
involvement at Towne
South?
JAMTowne Preschool thanks you, our Towne South family,
for all your support! We had a great first year and our
enrollment for this upcoming school year is looking good too!
We already have over 20 precious little ones registered!
Many of you made donations last year to help us get up and
going. They were much needed and appreciated! Now we
ask for help again to keep us going! A Giving Tree has been
"planted" by the kitchen door on the preschool hall. If you
would like to help support us, please check it out periodically. Just pick an apple
from the tree and bring back the item printed on it to place by the tree. Thank
you and God bless! Kelly Schuellein, Director

CHILDREN Our well supervised Nursery and Children’s
programs offer a warm and caring atmosphere.
Our “JAMTowne” entrance is in the lobby next to
the coffee bar!
COMMUNION Jesus gave this memorial to remind us of the price
He paid for our sins – death on a cross. Christians
are invited to meditate on God’s love and grace as
they participate.
OFFERING We give out of our love for God to support His
work here on earth. If you are a guest we
welcome you to express your gratitude but do not
feel pressured.
DECISIONS At the end of the service an invitation is extended
and is an opportunity for you to walk forward to
accept Jesus as your Savior, rededicate your life,
transfer your membership or ask for prayer and
spiritual counsel.
BAPTISM Immersion in water pictures the death and burial
of our old life without Jesus and the beginning of
our new life as His follower. It is the moment
when God’s grace unites with our faith providing
forgiveness of sins and the gift of the Holy Spirit.

STUDENT MINISTRY
Towne South Students is all about groups!
Being in the right group is important! We want all our
6-12th grade students to be connected to our student
ministry; and one of the best ways to do that is to get
plugged into a Small Group! All of our groups meet on Sunday morning from
10-11 AM. Join a group today!

Fall. If you have interest in volunteering at The Attic, visit The
Hub and complete a student ministry volunteer card.

AREA LADIES FELLOWSHIP MEETING
SUNDAY ON THE RIVER IS NEXT SUNDAY!
THE ENCCMF SUMMER BANQUET IS
AUGUST 24 AND THE LADIES ARE
INVITED! The banquet will be held at Christ's
Church of Greenville at 7 PM and Bob
Russell, retired minister of Southeast Christian
Church in Louisville, KY will be speaking. The Towne South bus will need to leave
by 4:30 PM. There is no cost for the banquet. The fare to ride the bus is only $5!
Sign up at The Hub to let us know you plan to attend!
ENCCMF SUMMER BANQUET
The Cleaning Teams are currently in need of
volunteers! Volunteers serve on a team of six to eight
members one Saturday morning each month for
approximately 1 1/2 hours to sweep, mop, wipe down
counters, empty trash, vacuum and clean bathrooms and classrooms. If this
sounds like the ministry for you, sign up at The Hub today!
Volunteers Needed!
The fun begins Friday, August 17th at 8 PM and
concludes Saturday, August 18th promptly at 8 AM. As the kids begin a new school year, what time would be better for a Super
Sleep-Over? It’s going to be an awesome evening spent scooting and skating,
consuming lots of yummy food, playing outrageous games, and of course,
hanging with friends! We will even have a service project where the kids will stuff
some back packs with school supplies to be shared with Towne South’s adopted
school for the year. All kids are encouraged to bring at least one school supply
item to be used in this project.
All attending will need to register. You can do that online at www.tscoc.com
under Children’s Ministry/Events or by filling out a paper form located at Kid
Check or The Hub. Parents or guardians will need to come inside and sign the
children “in” that evening and “out” the following morning. If someone else is
picking your child up, you will need to inform us that evening. This event is for all
kids that are going into K-6th
grades, and we encourage the children to invite their
friends. Each child will need a sleeping bag, pillow, and sweats to sleep in. Don’t
forget your skates and scooters, and if you have an extra, please bring it to share.
No skateboards or motorized scooters will be allowed. (Rip Sticks are allowed.)
Rest time begins at 11:30 PM when the children will be required to be sitting or
lying on their bedding. We will conclude the evening with snacks and a movie,
then rest until our pack-up/breakfast call at 7 AM. A light breakfast will be served
at 7:30 AM. If you have any questions, please see or contact Sissy Giffin at
[email protected]. We need many volunteers for this event. Pease sign up at
The Hub or Kid Check ASAP.
We all need a plan for our money.
Financial Peace University (FPU) is that
plan! It teaches God's ways of handling
money. Through video teaching, class
discussions, and interactive small group
activities, FPU presents biblical, practical steps to get from where you are to
where you've dreamed you could be. This plan will show you how to get rid of
debt, manage your money, spend and save wisely, and much more! Since 2015,
Towne South has had 37 families complete the nine week course. In those nine
weeks they were able to pay off $84,811 in debt, cut up 110 credit cards, put
$49,237 into savings, and began to be better givers! We encourage everyone at
Towne South to take FPU. Our next class will begin on Wednesday, September
5th at 6:05 pm. You can purchase your materials and register at tscoc.com/
ministries/financial-peace.
Towne South is sponsoring an American Red Cross Blood
Drive on Tuesday, August 21 from 3 PM to 7 PM. As an
added bonus, the Red Cross will send everyone giving blood
during the month of August a $5 Amazon gift card! The Red
Cross is in critical need of blood donations to address their
current shortage. Stop by The Hub today and select a
timeslot to donate, and an appointment will be made in
advance for you. You can also register online:
www.redcrossblood.org/give.html/donation-time. Simply enter 27909 in the Zip
Code field and then choose the Towne South Blood Drive to register for your
appointment. (Please note: If you signed up to give during our cancelled July 19
drive, you will need to re-register for August 21.) Thank you for giving the gift of
life!
Anyone interested in serving on Towne South’s Emergency
Response Team is asked to speak with Jonathan at The Hub or give
him a call at 252.312.3232 to see how you can get plugged in.
A Cup of Water! That's our theme when we host the September 10 meeting of
ladies from area churches. Come early enough to register ($5) and be ready for
the meal at 7 PM. You'll hear good singing and speaking from our women and
will have an opportunity to donate to missions in Ukraine. You'll also have a
chance to make some new acquaintances. Please sign up for a responsibility
today, or at least obtain an Interest Form at The Hub--we need you! For more
information, email event coordinator [email protected] or
call 252-312-3903.
Getting to Know You practice after 1st service
today in the ladies' classroom.

SUNDAY AFTERNOON, AUGUST 12,
ON THE RIVER AT MACU! What fun
we had at the graduates' party in
June! Another opportunity like that
comes up for us next Sunday afternoon when we will meet on the MACU campus
for fun, food, and fellowship. It all starts at 4 p.m. There will be boating, paddle
boarding, tubing, kick-ball, corn hole, food, and more! We ask that you bring a
side dish to share with everyone coming. Mark your calendar and plan to be
there! If you have a boat that you could bring to the event, let Corbin know by
emailing [email protected].
